Metal crashed against metal, as two figures moved in a graceful dance. Each time, the other's sword would seem to hit, only to have be blocked. Each time one lunged forward, the other gracefully leaped back. Suddenly in a fury of movements, one figure found itself weaponless with a sword at his neck. His own sword lay harmlessly on the side.
"That was a good duel, son. But you should keep your arms tucked in more, and try to dodge more often instead of blocking. Remember that I'm stronger so every time our sword clash, you get more battered than me," the taller figure said. The other figure nodded, as he stood there panting. "It's late, time for dinner," the taller man said as he glanced at the setting sun.
"Good, I'm starving," the boy said.
"Yeah, let's hope your mom didn't cook tonight." The boy laughed, and they started walking towards a little log cabin. As they neared it a blonde women with curly hair came out.
"Percy and Emil, you finally came back," she said crossly, "It's almost 7:00 p.m."
"Sorry Annabeth, but Emil is getting really good at sparing," Percy said.
"Yeah, I think in a few weeks I could beat Dad!" Emil said excitedly.
"I doubt that," Annabeth said. "Oh yeah, we have a guest."
"A guest?" Percy asked. Immediately his hand edged for his sword.
"A friend," Annabeth added as she walked in. Emil seemed excited and quickly followed his mother. Who could it be, Percy wondered as he slowly walked in.
"Ah! My former student!" An old man in a wheelchair said as Percy walked in.
"Chiron?"
"That's right," Chiron said his eyes twinkling. Emil curiously stared at the old man. Then Chiron turned his attention to Emil. "Hah, you look just like your father, those same green eyes. Same black hair, and everything," he muttered.
"My mom said 'thank the gods you didn't inherit your dad's brains' once," Emil chirped up. Chiron chuckled, while Annabeth blushed a little. Then Chiron whispered to Percy. Percy's face darkened, then turned to Emil.
"Hey Emil, why don't you go play with Mrs. O'Leary?" Percy asked. Emil was out the door in a flash. Soon he was climbing all over Mrs. O'Leary. Mrs. O'Leary gave one big happy bark.
"We can deal with him," Annabeth said before Chiron could speak.
"You don't understand, he needs to go to Camp," Chiron said urgently.
"We can fend off monsters, and teach him the basics," Percy said.
"The basics won't be enough."
"He's not even a half-blood! He's the son of two half-bloods, he won't have such a strong aura!"
"It's about the prophecy, Percy," Chiron said darkly. Percy stared in stunned silence. Annabeth soon broke the silence.
"The last prophecy took 70 years! It's only been 20 years!" Annabeth said worriedly.
"You remember him being blessed by the big three?" Chiron said cautiously.
"Yes, but what does that matter?"
"That blessing wasn't an ordinary blessing. It gave him the powers of a child of the big three. He has the power to manipulate water, call the dead, call down lightning, you name it!" Chiron said. Annabeth and Percy stared in stunned silence.
"So you mean, that he has an aura more powerful than me," Percy asked.
"More powerful than sticking you, Nico, and Thalia all in the same room." Chiron said. Suddenly Chiron paused and seemed to sniff the air. He opened his palm, and a bow materialized.
"How old is Emil?"
"12, why?" Annabeth said. After a moment, she gasped in horror and understanding.
"EMIL!" She yelled and leaped outside. Percy followed, and as he did he heard a roar. A powerful roar, that shook him to the bones. Their home had been invaded.
